Bud, You and Arnette were such special friends. We loved our cruises together and especially our river cruise to Paris. It's not the same without you at our get-togethers, but I know you would love for us to continue. One of the sweetest things that I have ever heard of is that you sent Arnette an anniversary card on the 12th of every month for 27 years and 9 months. I am checking on Arnette everyday and will continue. You ask if my gooses would have their wedding clothes this month. The answer is yes and now they are dressed in your honor. Floyd and I speak of you daily, and he says it doesn't feel right having scotch without you. We will be toasting you in the Wine Room soon, I know you would appreciate that. We love you to the moon and back. Shine your light on all of us when we are together as a sign that you are with us. Floyd & Charline Smith

I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult the loss of a loved one can be. I pray that you take comfort in your friends and family and that God gives you the strength needed to get through this difficult time. God invites us to draw close him in James chapter 4 verse 8.
